Description
In early September of 2007, I had the idea to take a traditional shot of the "usual suspects" Disney Princesses (see [link] ) and replace them with (or cast them as) heroines from some of my favourite Broadway shows--some newer/older or less popular than others. I have been a huge Disney fan since childhood, and really admire the dA artists who emulate the classic style; I was anxious to try my hand at it. Each girl was hand drawn in line and scanned in to be cleaned up and coloured in PhotoShop individually. Here they were layered in over a nauseating (but "Princess"-y) shade of pink. There are some proportion issues (mostly in unsourced body parts, eep!), but they're pretty tolerable.Left to right: Wendla Bergmann (Ariel), Christine Daaé (Belle), Mimi Marquez (Jasmine), Clara Johnson (Cinderella, with a touch of Alice), Kate Monster (Snow White), and Eponine Thénardier (Aurora).
Please see each individual character for disclaimer, detail, and whatever else:
Wendla of Spring Awakening: [link]
Christine of The Phantom of the Opera: [link]
Mimi of Rent: [link]
Clara of The Light in the Piazza: [link]
Kate of Avenue Q: [link]
Eponine of Les Misérables: [link]
Re-hashed montage: [link]
I will not be portraying any character from Wicked in this style, nor any musical character that was originally Disney to begin with. And in case you were wondering, Kate is my personal favourite.

I think Anna from the King and I and Maria from West Side Story would make great additions to this btw

Nice. Eponine, Kate, and Christine deserve the Disney treatment.

Currently. It was an on Broadway production from 2003-2009 and is currently ranked as #22 for longest running Broadway show.
PS - LOVE Clara/Cinderella! <3 Piazza is one of my favourites.

As soon as I saw this pic I thought omg Arial is Lea Michelle and then I read the description and it turns out Arial is actually Wendla. Just shows how much I know. Did anyone else think the same thing when they first saw the pic?

OMG! That's gorgeous!!! I love it. I especially love that you included not-so-classic characters from broadway (Mimi, Wendla, and Kate Monster (my faves btw)). So beautiful!

Oh! This is a lovely, wonderful, creative idea! I love both, so seeing them together makes me really happy. I hope more comes of this Disney-Broadway concept!
I like how you took the bases of the main six princesses for each lady and combined them, ending it with a way that they resemble the original princess but also have their own traits (and not only by their clothes) My personal favourite is Kate Monster, out of these (though Mimi, Clara and Christine look wonderful as well! <3 ). Keep up the good work!
